Cool Aftermarket Accessories at the 2008 SEMA Show
Automobile TRICPLATE
Say you have your car on display at a show (like the 2008 SEMA show). At the push of a button next to the steering wheel, a screen over your license plate immediately becomes opaque, preventing any show goers from getting your personal information. Or that's how the manufacturer's legal department tells it. We all know this isn't for hiding a license plate from crowds at shows -- more like speed cameras and bank parking lot security. Either way, this is really cool technology. $500, more at www.tricplate.com.
